Every Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) is their own fiefdom.  Although
there are a few model national codes, its the locally enacted law and AHJ

And, yes, the effectiveness and knowledge of AHJs varies greatly. It 
wouldn't surprise me if there were some places with no building codes
or inspectors.
